Ok heres what Im going to be using:
2 Rockford 10" Punch P3 2Ohm DVC Subwoofers (400w RMS each)
4 Rockford Power 6.5" 2-Way Component Systems (100w RMS each)

For the subs I was planning on using:
Rockford 1500 Watt Mono Amplifier (T1500-1bd) & wiring the subs at 2Ohm

for the components:
Rockford 400 Watt 2-Channel Amplifier (T400-2)
But Im kinda ify on the amp for the components.
Opinions/Suggestions?
In everyones opinions will i be feeding the speakers & subs enough/too much power?

 

someones having a feild day at buest buy

 

I think you should be fine powerwise. I would run the front comps off the 2 channel amp and use your W200 to power the rears. I would also consider just coaxials for the rear. There is not much need for components in the back. Some people do not even use speakers in the back.

 

Agreed

 

Sounds like a good idea
How well would my H/U power the rear speakers?
I would like the best possible SQ from my set up

Another thing is the rear seat of my truck gets used alot as a bed/couch for watching movies, how would the rear speakers sound just being powered off the H/U?

Will they distort or not get as loud as my fronts when i turn the volume up?

Just asking cause my current setup all of my speakers are wired to an amp

EDIT: I think i will just use the components up front & use some coaxials for the rear

 

You could always get a four channel amp, try the rear speakers off the head unit and if they are not loud enough, use the four channel amp to power all door speakers. If they are loud enough off the head unit, you could bridge the four channel to power the front comps or run the front comps active.

 

Sounds like an awesome plan, thanks dconder

Just wondering, but what kind of a difference would 2 12"s make over 2 10"s?
They're basicly the exact same as the 10"s, just 12"s & 100W more
Would It be worth it & could i still use the same amp?
Thanks again

 

2 12's will have a cone area advantace over the 10's

 

Yeah but will they make a big difference over the 10s"?

Enough difference to spend the extra money?

 

the more cone area the better your low end extension will be

2 12's would be like having 3 10's

 

Thanks, so I guess I'll be going with 2 12"s instead

Now would it be better to go a lil more than 1000Ws since the subs are 500W RMS or would it just be better to have them at perfect rms?

 

buy as much power as you can, its better to have too much than too little, just be sure to set the gains correctly with a 0db 60hz test tone and a dmm, with a higher power amp set correctly you will have less distortion and better dynamics in the bass area. I pesonally found this out having 150 more watts rms on tap for a 350 rms 8 incher

 

ok, so the amp I was gunna use is 1000W RMS @ 2Ohms
at 1Ohm its 1500W, how would I go about wiriing the subs @ 1-Ohm, all Ive ever done or seen is 2, 4, & 8

EDIT: Nevermind I found a diagram thanks anyways
Would it be stable to wire them @ 1-Ohm?
Oh and it looks like I can only use 4-Ohm subs to do this, is this correct?
Sorry for all the questions, never wired 1-Ohm before.

 

anyone?

 

If your using two DVC subs and want one ohm you will need 4 ohm ones. 2 ohm DVC subs will only give you the option of .5 or 2 ohm. With the dual 4 versions, you can wire for 1 ohm or 4 ohm.

As long as the amp can handle a 1 ohm load your good to go. Has no affect on the subs, they dont know how they are wired up.
